The Restriction of Hazardous Substances ROHS Certification holds electrical and electronic equipment companies directly responsible for the use of the hazardous substance in the Electrical and Electronic Equipments (EEE). This means all products must conform to strict standards to bans the usage of hazardous substances beyond the agreed levels. The RoHS Directive 2015/863 added four new restricted substances to the list of hazard substances:

1. Lead (Pb) (0.1 %)
2. Mercury (Hg) (0.1 %)
3. Cadmium (Cd) (0.01 %)
4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) (0.1 %)
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) (0.1 %)
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) (0.1 %)
7. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (0.1 %)
8. Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)  (0.1 %)
9. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (0.1 %)
10. Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (0.1 %)

The restriction of DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP will apply from 22 July 2021 to medical devices, including in vitro medical devices including industrial monitoring, and control instruments.

ROHS shall create an environment through quality assurance and total quality management to all aspects of our business process and shall strive for continuous improvement. Therefore, manufacturers, owners, retailers, and importers need to ensure that their products comply with ROHS Directive and can be distributed and sold in the EU.

The RoHS is closely linked with the new WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU entered into force on 13 August 2012 and became effective on 14 February 2014 to reduce the waste collection, by recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic. Both RoHS and WEEE are interlinked as a part of the legislative. The standard applies to all the manufacturers who need to also pass the requirements of WEEE along with RoHS to get entry into the market.

The products or equipment mandatory for RoHS Directives are Automatic dispensers Computing & communications equipment, medical devices, and equipment Large household appliances, Lighting equipment, Consumer electronics, Power tools, etc.

Why you need RoHS Certification?

With the continual, rapid growth of technology and science, people are aware of the adverse impact of hazardous substances on the environment as well as on health.
